Low-carbohydrate diets or low carb diets, such as the South Beach diet and Atkins Nutritional Approach, are food diets that advocate restricted carbohydrate consumption. Under these dietary regimes, carbohydrates are replaced by increased consumption of proteins or fats. Low carb diets have been in and out of fashion since the 19th century and the Banting diet.
Low-carb diets are largely distinguished by the proportions of carb intake they recommend, and the method or methods used to determinine which source or sources of carbohydrates should be consumed and which should be avoided. While all agree that processed sugar should be eliminated, or at the very least greatly reduced, they often differ on the recommended levels of grains, fruits and vegetables, though there is broad agreement that, in general, vegetables are better than fruits, and fruits are better than grains.
